I'm such a newbie [>:]. What do you mean by edel/carter. Obviously I know what the edel means but what is with the carter part? Hopefully I'm just having a brain fart
ORIGINAL: myshifter
the edel/carter is a great mild carb for mild cars, its by no means a full tilt racing carb and wasnt designed so. It is a very easy carb to tune and they hold a tune nicely. But when its time to get serious, its holley time

RE: Carburetor
I have found that if you go Holley do not go too big and go with vacuum secondaries. Tryied a 650 double pumper with mechanical secondaries on a 302 and could not get it to run well. Tried everything. Put a 600 with vacuum secondaries and it ran great.

Not all 4v carbs were hipo as if i'm not mistaken the A codes 65-66 were 4v carbs. I am sure somebody correct me if I am wrong. My car is A code but only 2v as somebody changed the engine and carb.
